Is perimeter measured in cubic units or square?
A perimeter is measured in LINEAR units. Neither 'square' units nor 'cube' units.
What is the difference between the units of area and the units of perimeter?
Area is measured in squared units, such as cm^2. One centimetre squared is a box that is 1cmx1cm. Perimeter is measured in normal units, such as centimetres.
What is the Square with a perimeter of 80 units?
A 20-unit square has a perimeter of 80 units.
Which measure best descirbes perimeter or area?
units square= area units= perimeter
A triangle has a base of length 20 units and perimeter of 66 units. If a similar triangle has a base of 15 units what is its perimeter?
49.5 units
Why is perimeter measured in units and area measured in sq units?
Because a perimeter is measured in linear units while an area is measured in square units.
Can the perimeter of a desk be measured in cubic units?
No. Just like a length, a perimeter is measured in linear units.
Is perimeter measured in cubic units or square?
A perimeter is measured in LINEAR units. Neither 'square' units nor 'cube' units.
Are the units for finding perimeter always square?
No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)
Explain why perimeter is measured in units and area is measured in square units?
Because the perimeter is a linear measurement, and area is measured by multiplying 2 linear measurements together.
Why is a perimeter measured in units?
It's a length.
What is the difference between the units of area and the units of perimeter?
Area is measured in squared units, such as cm^2. One centimetre squared is a box that is 1cmx1cm. Perimeter is measured in normal units, such as centimetres.
Why is permiters measured in units?
Perimeter is a length, not an area or volume...
Is the perimeter of a square always smaller than its area?
Units mismatch prevents any comparison of the values:perimeter is measured in units of length (e.g. inches, meters, miles)area is measured in units of area (e.g. square inches, square meters, square miles)
Can the perimeter of a shape be greater than its area?
The two are measured in different dimensions of units and are therefore incomparable.
Why is perimeter measured in linear units?
Perimeter is measured in Linear Units because it is Measurement of The Outline or Path of a given shape or area; a Perimeter is NOT the Measurement of What is Inside that Outline/Path. It is a One-Dimensional measurement, which MEANS it is a Linear Unit Measurement, such as Feet or Meters.Alternatively, a Two-Dimensional Measurement, is the Square of a Linear Unit -- like AREA is a Two-Dimensional Measurement and therefore Measured in Linear Units Squared (i.e. meters2/Square Meters or feet2/Square Feet). Area is the Measurement of What is Contained within a given Perimeter.
What should you use with area and perimeter square units or units?
units with perimeter square units with area
